Treatment Scores

I have a dream that all children will be able to learn whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want, as fast as they want.I have a dream that children will no longer be forced to learn the same the things at the same time. I have a dream that children will make their own educational choices much sooner in life so they will be less discouraged, learning will be more fun, and they can follow their passion.To further my dream, I bought these domains a long time ago:

EducationAutomation.com

EducationAutomation.net

EducationAutomation.org

I bought these domains, because one of my childhood heroes, R. Buckminster Fuller, who invented Synergetics and popularized the geodesic dome, wrote a prophetic book called Education Automation (1962). I became hooked on the idea that we should always know the best way to learn everything we want to learn.Imagine a website organized by the:

Best books

Best games

Best toys

Best teachers

Best activities

Best subjects

Best TV shows

Best movies

Imagine a website where your passion to learn is matched with the best ways to learn about your passion. In the old days, they used to say, learn the Three Rs: “reading, riting, and rithmatic.” It’s true, education needs to start with reading, writing, and arithmetic. These three subjects are the foundation for everything.But we also need to add business. Everyone, all their lives, no matter what they do, will somehow be involved in business. Business skills are needed to run your home, your life, succeed at work, and to change the world. We need Innovation Automation as much as we need Education Automation. All colleges and universities should have undergraduate business schools. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and business, might be rephrased as the Four Rs: “reading riting, rithmetic and reality.”When I was in 7th grade, I wanted to learn human anatomy. I would be forced to wait until my 17th grade, my first year of medical school, to actually learn human anatomy.When I was in college, I took a course called medical etymology. That programmed learning workbook was a greatest book I have ever known on learning medical terminology. Where is that book now? What was the name of that book? I have no idea. It's lost to history. But future students should have benefited from that book, because I don't think a better one has ever been written.Why are we losing our best learning resources simply because we can't keep track of them? Why can't we organize education better?We need 24/7 education, after hours schooling, weekend schooling, and homeschooling. We need omnipresent education automation, we need Education Everywhere. We need artificial intelligence to match us to the best learning tools when we are ready learn anything. The databases for all the ratings of the best things are being built, but the information needs to be digested into one place to match each individual's needs.We all need to be connected to the books, games, documentaries, and educational TV shows in a better way than is being done now. We need Education Automation™!If you share the dream of Education Automation™ please email me at:Dr.Hennenfent@gmail.com

We have a big problem in healthcare! The inability to make Crucial Decisions using evidence-based medicine, patient-centered outcomes, and shared decision-making. Patients Need Help! We need to summarize medical treatments down to one number, the net treatment benefit for the patient.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCORI) team wrote, “Every day, patients and their caregivers are faced with crucial health care decisions while lacking key information that they need.” PCORI also wrote that we need to translate “…existing scientific research into accessible and useable formats…” - PCORI.org

The video above explains the problem of shared decision-making. Everyone says they want shared decision-making, but no one can actually do evidence-based medicine with shared decision-making in a universal way, for all treatments, for all diseases. Thus, we created the Treatment Scores system to make the process transparent and visual. What is your illness? What is the list of treatments? And, what is the Treatment Score (the net treatment benefit) for each and every treatment?

The Number Needed to Treat is not the right statistic for patients and never has been. Patients need to know the "net treatment benefit."

Patients need to know the "net treatment benefit" for patients like them who have treated in the past as summarized from the existing medical literature, using evidence-based medicine guidelines and shared decision-making.

Above is a very short video of questions to ask your doctor. Treatment Scores software is a universal calculator that summarizes the benefit of any medical treatment down to one number (using the outcome measure important to the patient).

Treatment Scores are like Sabermetrics (Moneyball for Medicine). Moneyball was the very popular movie starring Brad Pitt, which was about Sabermetrics. Sabermetrics have revolutionized sports and we need to revolutionize medicine, because there is an 88% health illiteracy rate.
